The Alkaline Water Company will trade on the NASDAQ exchange beginning on Monday, December 10th.

In our world of small and micro caps, this company is nothing short of a Cinderella story. As a previously listed OTC company, The Alkaline Water Company has beaten the odds (most micro caps which trade on the OTC and TSX Venture never make it to a NASDAQ listing) on its quest to becoming a national brand in the bottled water industry.

Few companies grow their revenue from essentially nothing to a current annual run rate of US$34.4 million in roughly six years – which is what The Alkaline Water Company has achieved to date. It has also become one of the largest (by sales volume) alkaline water companies in the United States…

Walking the production line with The Alkaline Water Company's President and CEO Mr. Richard Wright
Walking the production line with The Alkaline Water Company’s President and CEO Mr. Richard Wright at a co-packer’s facility in Texas during our site visit this summer… it has been a real pleasure watching this company execute on its business plan over the past several months.

Since we introduced the company back in the first half of September, when it had last traded for CAD$2.54 (on the TSX Venture), its share price has more than doubled on the back of significant development (closed trading on Friday at CAD$6.12). The NASDAQ listing, combined with the potential for continued growth in its marketplace, have us expecting to see increased liquidity in The Alkaline Water Company’s market.

“We have a big footprint now in the U.S. We’re a stable operation with a great revenue base.”

Aaron Keay, Chairman, The Alkaline Water Company

The NASDAQ exchange is known to have some of the toughest listing requirements in the world. With just over 3,000 companies listed, it frequently has the greatest trading volume of any U.S. stock exchange; and it is the second-largest stock exchange in the world by market capitalization, behind only the New York Stock Exchange. Funds and institutions that would otherwise not be able to invest in The Alkaline Water Company (“AWC”) prior to this uplisting, potentially now can. This goes for funds in the U.S. and many other countries. According to recent data from the exchange, the NASDAQ carries out approximately 1.8 billion trades per day…

The Alkaline Water Company has uplisted to the NASDAQ Exchange and will commence trading on Monday, December 10.
The Alkaline Water Company has uplisted to the NASDAQ Exchange and will commence trading on Monday, December 10.

From Apple to Microsoft and Netflix, NASDAQ is the primary exchange for some of the biggest companies in the world. For the Scottsdale-based Alkaline Water Company (WTER: NASDAQ), which is in the midst of an expansion phase, the uplisting perhaps could not come at a better time. Its leading product, Alkaline88®, is already in over 40,000 retail outlets across the U.S., including many Walmart, Albertson’s/Safeway and Krogers stores. And as mentioned, the company is on the verge of a major product line expansion… more on this shortly.

AWC is on Track to Roughly Double Sales from Last Fiscal Year

The Alkaline Water Company’s fiscal 2018 sales topped US$19.8 million, an increase of roughly 55% versus the prior year. What’s more, the company’s FY 2019 sales goal is US$40 million; and it looks as though it could come in around that number given that on November 14, 2018 the company reported record quarterly sales of over US$8.6 million for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018.

Although US$8.6 million equates to US$34.4 million on an annualized run rate, the company expects revenue to increase as the fiscal year continues (AWC’s 2019 fiscal year ends on March 31, 2019). Its lead product, Alkaline88® water has proven to be a choice water for many consumers, and the company is now preparing to expand its product offerings by entering a burgeoning segment of the market…

AWC is preparing to roll out a hemp-derived CBD infused water, among others.

By leveraging its nationwide footprint, in our opinion AWC is at a clear advantage versus many new entrants to the CBD infused beverage space. The company’s new infused beverage division was announced in September, and we are now nearing the launch of its first product rollout.

From an October article by Bloomberg,

“Do I just want to be a CBD player in the dispensary market? Absolutely not,” said Aaron Keay, chairman of Alkaline Water Co., in an interview. “I want to be a CBD player in the supermarket places, which we already dominate, and then branch out into more mainstream from there.”

At the end of October, we travelled to Carson City, Nevada, home to American Nutritional Products’ headquarters, the location where AWC’s infused division will have a “one stop shop” for the development of each of its product extensions via a co-packing agreement and formulation, development, and supply agreement (full press releases highlighting this relationship here and here).

American Nutritional Products’ state-of-the-art 55,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in Carson City, Nevada has been certified by the International Center for Cannabis Therapy (CCTI), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and is registered with the FDA, allowing them to produce everything from the company’s hemp-derived CBD Alkaline88® water to its sparkling Alkaline88® water, both of which are currently in the development stage.

We visited ANP's headquarters and manufacturing facility in Carson City, Nevada just before Halloween.

While in Nevada, we met with members of AWC’s management team and learned more about out how they plan to penetrate the CBD infused beverage space…

Come along with us to get an exclusive look at how one of NASDAQ’s newest issuers plans to continue growing in the bottled water market, while taking on the emerging CBD segment.

In its press release titled The Alkaline Water Company Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Revenue for Second Fiscal Quarter 2019, the company touches on its expansion plans and Q2 highlights, stating:

“Launched A88 Infused Beverage Division Inc. (A88 Infused), with an initial product offering of:

“Hemp-Derived CBD Infused Alkaline88® Water

Sparkling CBD Alkaline88® water

Vitamin-infused CBD Alkaline88® water (including Vitamin B12 and Chlorophyll)In addition to the CBD product line, A88 Infused will develop a robust product line of new and innovative beverages, including:

Vitamin Based “Energy” Alkaline88® water

Naturally flavored Alkaline88® water (including watermelon, blackberry lemon, blood orange and peach mango)”

The Hemp-Derived CBD Market

If you’ve read any of our reports on the cannabis sector over the past half year or so, you know we see major upside potential in products CBD-related, particularly in the US if the Farm Bill is passed into law (this would remove hemp — and hemp-derived CBD — from the list of Schedule I controlled substances).

On Thursday, Vanmala Subramaniam of the Financial Post published a report titled, ‘Financial cascade’: How the U.S. farm bill could unleash a multi-billion dollar CBD business overnight. She wrote:

“Legal hemp would mean a legal and more cost-effective source of CBD, and one that could be transported without restriction and sold on a national level – something that could unleash a multi-billion dollar CBD industry almost overnight…”

We strongly believe CBD-related products will inevitably make up one of the largest sub-sectors of the cannabis industry. In our opinion, hemp-derived CBD has near-term potential to be fast tracked to mainstream consumer markets…

Estimates from cannabis industry analysts the Brightfield Group suggest the hemp-CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022, if the US Farm Bill is passed into law.

With The Alkaline Water Company stepping into the CBD market via its Hemp-Derived CBD Infused Alkaline88® Water product currently being developed, our aim is to learn more about the strategy and rollout goals. This product in development, in many ways, has the potential to be a company-maker for AWC and its health and wellness branding strategy…

Royal Queen Seeds wrote last year in a piece titled, CBD WATER: THE NEXT BIG CANNABIS INDUSTRY INNOVATION, “CBD water may become an irreplaceable tool for athletes. As well as providing a source of hydration, the water may help to prevent and treat other issues that athletes often encounter…”

And,

“CBD may help to bolster athletic recovery by taking off the edge of pain and serving as an anti-inflammatory…”

In October, AWC reported that its wholly owned subsidiary, A88 Infused Beverage Division, has entered into an exclusive formulation, development, and supply agreement with American Nutritional Products Inc. (“ANP”):

“This Agreement solidifies our ongoing relationship with ANP to finalize the formulations for our Cannabinol (CBD) and infused products. ANP has agreed to initially develop 5 to 7 functional waters including 3 to 4 in the CBD area and 2 to 3 in the vitamin and antioxidant segment.”

Note: The Alkaline Water Company Inc. fully intends to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations as the Company develops its hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) infused alkaline water and other nutraceutical product lines. The Company will not pursue the production or sale of CBD-infused products until legally permitted and all necessary approvals have been obtained.

The Alkaline Water Company | NASDAQ Bound

Aaron Keay, Chairman of The Alkaline Water Company, stated on December 4th:

“With the increased visibility and liquidity that trading on the NASDAQ will provide, we will continue to expand our product lines, increase the visibility of our brand, and grow our presence with existing and additional retailers as we drive value for our shareholders.”

To hear more from Chairman Mr. Aaron Keay, watch our exclusive interview with him at ANP’s headquarters in Carson City.

With revenue having continually increased, quarter after quarter for a substantial period of time, we are optimistic when it comes to The Alkaline Water Company’s future. There are many potential near term catalysts for the company, including commencement of trading on the NASDAQ, a passing of the US Farm Bill, additional retail partnerships, regional expansion, and most noteworthy from our vantage point, the forthcoming rollout of a hemp-derived CBD infused Alkaline88® Water.

Since we introduced AWC, it has delivered on positive, seemingly systematic development. Take a look at some of its recent press releases from just the last two months:

Nov. 29 – The Alkaline Water Company Inc. Secures Water-Soluble Natural Hemp Extract Formulations

Nov. 14 – The Alkaline Water Company Inc. Reports Record Quarterly Revenue for Second Fiscal Quarter 2019

Oct. 24 Alkaline Water Company Completes Coast to Coast Expansion with Safeway Albertsons

Oct. 17 A88 Infused Beverage Division Enhances CBD and Infused Portfolio

Oct. 10Alkaline88® Brand Extends into Drugstore Channel

Recognize that we are biased when it comes to The Alkaline Water Company. AWC is a client and we participated in the company’s private placement completed in May 2018, making us shareholders and cheerleaders. Conduct your own thorough and independent due diligence to properly understand the risks associated with investing in a company of this nature. The company is most certainly at an expansion stage, which often results in further dilution to shareholders. Pick your spots…

All the best with your investments,

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information: Much of this report is comprised of statements of projection. This report contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that The Alkaline Water Company or Pinnacle Digest believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements. Such statements include but are not limited to, statements with respect to future growth predictions for the bottle water industry; statements with respect to future growth predictions for the CBD and CBD infused beverage industry; statements relating to when the Company will be selling CBD infused water; statements regarding the expected declining growth for carbonated soft drinks; statements relating to no other company being as uniquely positioned in the bottled water market as The Alkaline Water Company; any statement that the Company’s current production capacity well exceeds its mid-term volume projections and should demand exceed projections, the Company is ready to meet that demand with little or no shortfall in product supply; the Company expecting growth in sales to increase in the months ahead; the anticipation that more retailers will carry the Company’s product on their shelves; the Company expects to see its fiscal 2019 sales increase to nearly US$40 million; the Company expects to reach positive cash flow in fiscal year 2019; that the Company will be able to scale its operations efficiently if sales continue to grow; statements that if the Company reaches near US$40 million in revenue it can expect interest from outside companies, potentially interest from an acquisition perspective; that the Company has the potential to become a buyout candidate; that Alkaline88® is well positioned for a brand-driven acquisition; that the Company will dominate the emerging beverage market with the launch of their new products, including hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) 10 mg infused Alkaline88® waters; that consumers will embrace an infused Alkaline88® healthful product line; that the Company can develop new products to be leaders in the emerging trend of enhanced water products; that the Company will be one of the first to market in the US and Canadian markets with its CBD infused alkaline water; that A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc. will be able to bring several sophisticated and functional new products to market by December, 2018; that the Company and its A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc. will have a significant advantage in delivering great tasting and bio available products to its customers due to ANP’s experience; that the Company will bring its hemp-derived CBD water to market and obtain all approvals for such products; that the expertise of the Company will accelerate A88 Infused’s market penetration significantly; that the new product lines will result in a major benefit to the Company’s growth and overall shareholder value, and other statements, estimates or expectations. Often, but not always, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects”, “expected”, “budgeted”, “targets”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “aims”, “will”, “believes”, “projects” “could” “would” and similar expressions (including negative variations) which by their nature refer to future events.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond The Alkaline Water Company’s control. These statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results. Forward looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management or Pinnacle Digest at the date the statements are made, as well as a number of assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company or Pinnacle Digest concerning, among other things, that the demand for the Company’s products will continue to significantly grow; that there will be continued expansion of direct store distributor sales; that there will be increased production capacity through implementation of new technology; that there will be an increase in number of products available for sale to retailers and consumers; that there will be an expansion in geographical areas by national retailers carrying the Company’s products; that there will be an expansion into new national and regional grocery retailers; that the US 2018 Farm Bill will pass and become law; and that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital to meet the Company’s growing demand and satisfy the capital expenditure requirements needed to increase production and support sales activity.

Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, governmental regulations being implemented regarding the production and sale of alkaline water or any other products, including products containing CBD; the fact that consumers may not embrace and purchase any of the Company’s infused water products; the fact that the Company may not receive approval for any of its CBD infused products; the fact that the 2018 Farm Bill may not be passed resulting in CBD derived from hemp continuing to be a controlled substance under Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act; the fact that the Company may not receive approval from the USDA or the FDA for its CBD infused products; additional competitors selling alkaline water and enhanced water products in bulk containers reducing the Company’s sales; the fact that the Company does not own or operate any of its production facilities and that co-packers may not renew current agreements and/or not satisfy increased production quotas; the fact that the Company has a limited number of suppliers of its unique bulk bottles; the potential for supply chain interruption due to factors beyond the Company’s control; the fact that there may be a recall of products due to unintended contamination; the inherent uncertainties associated with operating as an early stage company; changes in customer demand and the fact consumers may not embrace enhanced water products as expected or at all; the extent to which the Company is successful in gaining new long-term relationships with new retailers and retaining existing relationships with retailers; the Company’s ability to raise the additional funding that it will need to continue to pursue its business, planned capital expansion and sales activity; volatility in the Company’s stock price; competition in the industry in which the Company operates and market conditions. It’s also important to understand that The Alkaline Water Company has not reached profitability. And even if its revenue increases, there is no certainty that will translate into the Company being profitable.

Furthermore, the CBD infused segment of the beverage market is a new market segment and currently relatively small in size (by sales volume). Any forecasts, predictions or estimations relating to how big this segment may get in the months and years to come is speculative and there is no certainty sales will reach, or even come close to, projected volumes. As with many emerging market segments, entering it should be considered risky as numerous changes can occur quickly within the segment (regulatory and otherwise) and there is no certainty the Company will react appropriately.

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report being publicly released, and neither Pinnacle Digest nor the Company assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and Canada. Although Pinnacle Digest and The Alkaline Water Company believe that the assumptions inherent in their respective forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to their inherent uncertainty.

Readers of this report should consult all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factors disclosure outlined in the reports and other documents The Alkaline Water Company files with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov, and on the SEDAR website, available at www.sedar.com.
